You can get a smear test through a GP, a family planning clinic, well woman centre or in some HSE clinics. The costs depends on where you get it done and if you have a medical card. CervicalCheck currently only targets the high risk 25 to 60 age group and provides a free smear test every 5 years. Check out www.cervicalcheck.ie for more information.
